- Liner Notes
The ten/e convincingly transcends mere hi-fi to enter the land of musical magic. The search for a satisfying illusion of live music in the home is what the art and science of audio design is all about. The ten/e is an intensely musical offering that considerably short cuts the search for the such an experience. It puts the listener much closer to the sensation of live than any other solid-state preamp on the market. It leaves tube preamps in the dust as far as being able to reproduce musical textures without euphonic additives and coloration.
